Nonureva Really Surprised!

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

GL84 Following a series of strange murders, a group of students at a college campus set out to investigate the crimes and their seeming connection to the killer when they find out the killer is basing their crimes on urban legends and set out to stop the rampage.This is far better than its reputation would have it. Among the better features here is the fact that back when this movie came out the gimmick of using the deaths based on urban legends allowed for some pretty inventive and original kills. The opening backseat driver decapitation is a great one to open a film on, the dead boyfriend suspended over a fleeing car in the woods offers some rather nice suspense with the killer appearing and continually trying to break into the car and the sex/strangulation misidentification is really cool mainly because the circumstances needed to make it true, from the back-story needed to make sure she shouldn't see anything, the killer gaining access to the room without violent means, and the actual sounds of the incident, are all mixed together and makes a marvelous scene. These here really work nicely due to the way they incorporate the whole mythology of the premise into their stalking and work incredibly well at bringing these together. Other great scenes, where she watches someone in the killers known attire stalk one of her friends in a swimming pool while she is helplessly trying to get her attention or the tense stalking of the DJ in the radio station during the thunderstorm make for some additional tense, thrilling scenes, and the way it works out due to knowing what the killer is dressed like is effective enough. That also leads into the twist about the identity of the killer and how their secret is kept, as the way there are so many different red herrings involved and all of them given good alibis to clear them, so by gaining more clues to their identity, it broadens the suspense by making an extra clue for the people to solve. These here really work nicely for the film as there isn't a whole lot really to dislike here. The main problem with this film is that it was aimed for the masses to consume, so it has a lot of toned-down gore. Many of these killings should've been gorier, and it will probably disappoint many out there looking for a good gory slasher film. It also falls into the realm of those films where they're trying to poke fun of the genre at the same time as trying to scare, and here is one example that having a ton of cheap scares aren't that frightening. What makes it worse is that many of the jokes aren't funny, so it is a bit flat in some places. The pacing is a little off in the first half with all the build-ups to the class and what they all mean, but there's not a whole lot else wrong here.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, some alcohol use, a scene with a dog drinking and a brief mild sex scene.

lorcan-61881 Like I know what you did last summer this is a complete copy of scream. I didn't like this film at all,the acting was cheesy,the deaths took life an hour to happen and it was just a stale or dull plot. I recommend not to see this if you want to see a horrible version of scream. The only good thing about this was Danielle Harris(Halloween 4-5',stake land)that was good but of course the best thing in the film had to be killed just because knowing my luck. This is a bad movie just like I know what you did last summer. I'm not watching the sequels,urban legend 2 or the third TV movie titled 'Bloody Mary'. Urban legend as i said is a terrible no good piece of trash thrown to teenagers to get loads of money.

Sandcooler "Urban Legend" is a movie that clearly tries to cash in on the slasher revival started by "Scream", but I don't mind that because it's a very well-made horror movie. It looks slick, but some of the false scares genuinely work and the murders based on urban legends are a good addition (even though they bail on that pretty quickly). The whodunit aspect is also entertaining, there are so many red herrings thrown around in this movie. However, the climax is pretty disappointing. When you find out who the killer is in "Scream", you're genuinely surprised: it's a movie that's even more fun to watch the second time, because then you can puzzle it all together. The revelation in "Urban Legend" on the other hand makes no sense whatsoever, and you just feel cheated by the movie. Thankfully you've seen plenty of good kill scenes by then, so it's a mistake that's easy to forgive.

Wuchak Released in 1998, "Urban Legend" chronicles events at a New England university where a mad killer is on the loose, imitating urban legends. Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart and Tara Reid play the three main female students while Michael Rosenbaum, Jared Leto and Joshua Jackson play the main dudes. Robert Englund is on hand as a dubious professor, Julian Richings as a weird maintenance guy, John Neville as the dean and Loretta Devine as campus security.While this is a slickly-made and entertaining late 90's slasher with a stellar cast, it's also hackneyed, cartoony, contrived, over-the-top and unbelievable; the revelation of the killer in the last act is particularly roll-your-eyes. It's also not scary. But, like I said, it's amusing and polished; I also like the NE locations (Toronto area). Alicia Witt plays a strong heroine and it's inexplicable that she didn't become more popular, although she's had steady work ever since.The film runs 96 minutes and was shot at Humber College, Toronto, Ontario, and nearby Trent University with an opening aerial shot of Trinity College School, Port Hope, Ontario.GRADE: B- (6.5/10)
